Answer:
[tex]Area = 138in^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]L = 9; W =3; H =3\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Required
The surface area
This is calculated as:
[tex]Area = 2(LW + LH + WH)[/tex]
So:
[tex]Area = 2(9*3 + 9*3\frac{1}{2} + 3*3\frac{1}{2})[/tex]
[tex]Area = 2(27 + 31\frac{1}{2} + 10\frac{1}{2})[/tex]
[tex]Area = 2*69[/tex]
[tex]Area = 138in^2[/tex]
